$state.go() doesn't load controller in ionic application

Question

Using the following code, when a page with id=0 loads first time there is no problem with controller. But when again the same page loads with same id=0 again, it does not loads controller.

$state.go('tab.dash', {
  id: $rootScope.products[CONSTANTS.i].id
}, {
  reload: true
});

How does it happen? Please suggest me a solution.

I encountered a similar problem where I needed stats to recalculate every time a tab was visited.

You need to disable view caching. You can do so in the route setup. For example:

.state('tab.stats', {
 url: '/stats',
 views: {
   'tab-stats': {
     templateUrl: 'templates/tab-stats.html',
     controller: 'StatsCtrl'
   }
 },
 cache: false
})
